Adam Kolarek

Kolarek is an adrenaline guy who thrives off pitching in relief. He's physical at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and pitches at 89-91 mph with his fastball, which is slightly above-average for a lefthander. Kolarek's performance this spring didn't reflect his ability, as he went 1-4, 6.06 in 36 innings, but that was attributable in part to a failed attempt to use him as a starter at the beginning of the season. Kolarek also throws a changeup and curveball, but those pitches are below-average and need plenty of work.
